    Please click here for a PDF copy of this article: Cash Balance & Safe Harbor Plans, 7/28/2023

     

    Safe Harbor 401(k) and Cash Balance Plans are two options that may allow company owners and key employees to save more for retirement. Please note: both types of plans can still be set up this year in order to provide tax savings benefit for the full tax year.

    As noted below, the deadline for implementation of a Safe Harbor 401(k) plan is October 1st, however, most third-party plan administrators (TPAs) require plan paperwork by or around August 15th. In order to implement your plan by the deadline, please contact BFG by August 7th  if you’re interested in getting started.

    Safe Harbor and Cash Balance Plan designs are beneficial in situations where owners and key employees would like to contribute the maximum allowable deferral even if other employees make little or no contributions.  Below is an explanation of the major differences between Cash Balance and Safe Harbor 401(k) Plans*:
